Lisa Brandt: Queenager

Lisa Brandt's career in radio and voiceover is a testament to the
power of versatility, resilience, and a willingness to embrace
change. From her early days in small-town radio to her time at
some of Toronto's most iconic stations, Brandt's story is one of
navigating the evolving landscape of the industry with
determination.


One of the most striking aspects of Lisa's journey is her ability
to keep it young. Whether it was cueing records and producing
commercials in the analog era, or pivoting to voice work when her
radio career took an unexpected turn, Brandt has consistently
demonstrated a knack for reinventing herself. Her openness to
trying new things, from blogging to painting, has allowed her to
maintain a creative spark and avoid the stagnation that can
sometimes plague long-term media professionals.


Lisa's emphasis on the importance of community and support is
also noteworthy. Her experiences working with talented
programmers and personalities like Marty Forbes, Pat Holiday, and
Erin Davis have underscored the value of surrounding oneself with
like-minded individuals who can provide guidance, encouragement,
and a sounding board.


Perhaps most significantly, her approach to managing the constant
influx of news and information is a lesson in self-care of her
mental health. She is selective in her news consumption and to
prioritize her own well-being over obsessing over current events
is a refreshing perspective in an era where anxiety and burnout
are all too common.


Lisa has an excellent podcast with Erin Davis (who was on our
show earlier this year), called Gracefully and Frankly. Follow
that show if you know what is good for you.
